Bashar al-Assad's explosive barrels dropped on the city of Daraya - video - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43792370]Soviet Union during and after WWII wasn't the nicest police state towards it's own citizens and future citizens and it was able to maintain a reasonable amount of control over them.[/QUOTE] Not an entirely comparable scenario

[QUOTE=Aman;43792397]Not an entirely comparable scenario[/QUOTE] It's not like they were dropping home made bombs from biplanes or anything, but the Soviets did execute tens of thousands of Polish, let the Nazi's slaughter the Warsaw rebels, and tried to exterminate the Ukrainians alongside the Nazi's.

One day when this is all over the Syrian people will look down on us with shame. We were quite happy to invade Iraq on shaky at best intel, but this is completely different. We should intervene, no one deserves to go through this.

[QUOTE=Leestons;43787884]I don't say "oh my god" 50 times like a broken record.[/QUOTE] Maybe that's because you haven't had bombs dropped next to you

I Allah Akbar'd. Cool explosions.

Dude filming had some serious testicles. It almost feels like he knew where the bombs were going to drop. The town looked evacuated too.

[QUOTE=Valiantttt;43782371]2. The rebels are just as bad, if even worse considering they will kill eachother before and after Assad is gone.[/QUOTE] This has got to the the most intellectually dishonest thing facepunch is willing to maintain about the entire syrian comflict. The very worst the rebels have to offer pales in comparison to the magnitude and frequency of the attrocities the regime commits, and will continue to commit for as long as it stays in power.

When over 50% of the rebels are flat out bandits or their ideology is questionable it's a shitty situation.

Politicians are finally starting to wise up to the cost of frivolous warfare, both politically and economically. If the US and NATO were in a more stable state, politically and economically, then maybe we could justify a military intervention in the country and every other middle eastern and African shithole that needs US brand democratization. But we just got done with bombing Libya and pulling out of Iraq and sending Green Berets to some African countries to train militaries that will probably try to fight us some day, we're still waging war in Afghanistan, and the US and much of NATO is still on the recovery from a massive recession. We don't have the money or support to do this.

[QUOTE=Sluggbuck 99;43785570]why was the guy in the video saying god is great every time a bomb dropped[/QUOTE] You people are confused to the max. When using "Allahu Akbar" in this context, it translates to "Oh my God" not "God is great", the dude just had a bad translation. source: 14 years of speaking Arabic.

[QUOTE=Leestons;43788568]Do you say it every two seconds though?[/QUOTE] Hey fucker. American and fireworks [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy1mbG2dGXU[/media] Some people just say shit when things explode.

Lots of them have defected to the various islamic organizations. Most of them going to either Al-Nusra, The Syrian Islamic Front, The Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, or the Islamic Front. Basically the main players at the moment are the Kurds in the north-northeast, and the Various islamic organizations elsewhere. The FSA restructuring pissed a lot of them off and many groups broke away. The FSA is very much a minority at the moment and aren't the real representative of the rebel faction.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;43809592]I thought it meant "God is greater".[/QUOTE] Read my post properly mate, I said "[B]in this context[/B]". It means also God is great/er, and "oh my God".
